CHEM

In this course, the student will learn basic chemical principles. Topics will include atomic and molecular structures, states of matter, stoichiometry of reactions, equilibrium systems, chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, periodic properties, and the chemistry of transition elements. This course also requires an on-ground wet lab component.

In this course, the student will learn basic concepts related to organic and biochemistry. Topics will include spectroscopy, nomenclature, properties and synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids, lipids, amino acids, nucleotide metabolic pathways, and the structure and function of nucleic acids. This course also includes a wet lab component.
